So I have a 'StarFighter: The Ultimate Joystick' I use on my 1200, and it's rather, ah, crunchy? Like, you can feel the contacts rubbing inside of it. For some games it just has a better 'feel' than using my Genesis pad so I'd really like to fix it up.
Is this a common issue with older sticks? Or is this just due to the nature of how this specific one is made? If so, would a micro-switch style stick like the Competition Pro be a better choice?
No. No. Possibly.
You would (at least I would) have to open it up and check the contacts and stick movement to determine and fix the issue. Joysticks are not Rocket Science, but visual inspection will clarify the issue.
